A is for.....

August 21 - the day we celebrate all the years of our wedded bliss. Not every year has been perfect, but we have made it eleven years!

To keep with tradition (our first date was to Disneyland) we decided to spend the evening at Downtown Disney eating, strolling, listening to street music and watching fireworks.

We started off at Rainforest Cafe with a yummy dinner and free appetizer......


It's a jungle in there! Wild animals, thunderstorms & yummy food!

We walked off our dinner wandering through.....


just having fun watching people, being glad we didn't have kids in a stroller, listening to the street musicians that are so talented, admiring all the fun artwork.....

it was about time for the fireworks so we found a good spot and enjoyed the fireworks and music before heading home!



to be continued.....
next year!

party like it's your birthday......

Happy birthday #43 to you!
correction #44 (sorry)

For his birthday Mike wanted to head to his favorite place......

so we cleaned ourselves up and headed out on a fun birthday date!

after finally making it - apparently one of the bussiest days of the year at Disneyland (last day So. CA pass holders could go for the summer) we wandered around the grounds of the Disneyland Hotel to see what had changed since we had been there for our honeymoon. We found this fun plant sculpture of Mickey & Minnie......

then headed down to the water falls to take pictures like we did on our honeymoon (aw...)

you can't tell in the pictures, but the water was all lit up a beautiful blue...

then off for the birthday boy dinner feast!

YUMMY!

Mikes favorite - MEAT!

We finished our dinner just in time to walk thru Downtown Disney and enjoy the fireworks and all the street musicians. Another fabulous birthday for a fantastic husband, father & boyfriend!
